by Rebecca Walker — June 3, 2009—Stonebridge Innovations is introducing LatchBuddy, a simple tool for dealing with stubborn window latches on older double hung windows.
The LatchBuddy sits atop the latch and extends additional leverage to the user for easy opening and closure of the latch. It is easily removed and non-permanent attachment, yet attractive enough to leave in plain view, says the company.
The LatchBuddy is intuitively easy to operate, enabling individuals to quickly adapt to a new way of opening and closing the latch. With its unconventional, yet stylish design, it blends form and function and is ideal for people of limited strength or dexterity, including arthritis sufferers.
